A bill for an act relating to the confidentiality of the residential addresses of foster parents.

HF 2036 protects foster parents' residential address privacy by prohibiting agencies from sharing a foster parent's full address with a biological parent unless the foster parent provides written consent. The bill defines key terms like "foster parent" and "foster child," and explicitly states that documents containing unredacted addresses cannot be given to biological parents without consent. This directly affects foster parents (who control address disclosure), biological parents (who may request addresses only with consent), and child welfare agencies (which must comply with the confidentiality rule). The law aims to prevent unauthorized access to foster parents' homes while allowing voluntary disclosure when foster parents agree.
